Region VI Fall Summit

In the fall, each of the six regions host a daylong leadership conference for member schools. These conferences will include a motivational speaker and several small breakout sessions presenting a variety of topics dealing with different leadership concepts/skills. Adams Friendship High School will be hosting the Region VI Fall Summit.

This year’s speaker: Harriet Turk

For the past 20 years, Harriet Turk has challenged her audiences to think about their life choices. In a world peppered with indifference, complacency, and difficult decisions, she offers her unique and fresh perspective regarding leadership, loyalty, and life. Powerful, engaging and insightful, Harriet pulls no punches and connects with her audiences when she “tells it like it is.” Participants leave her programs with a clear, practical, healthy lifestyle message-believe in you, and believe in the value of life! However, Harriet doesn’t give participants unrealistic hope. Just because, “We dream it,” does NOT automatically mean, “We achieve it!” By reinforcing the concept that we all possess personal power, participants learn that they are in charge of their choices, but they don’t always get to choose the consequences. Learning how to cope with failure, and trying again are integral components of this program. Using her degrees in Criminal Justice, her background in probation and youth leadership, and her experiences as a professional speaker, Harriet will give you tools and time-tested strategies to create an incredible revolution in your life and in your work!
